Zephyr board options

The STM32U585i is an SoC with Cortex-M33 architecture. Zephyr provides support for building for both Secure and Non-Secure firmware.

The BOARD options are summarized below:

BOARD

Description

b_u585i_iot02a

For building Secure (or Secure-only) firmware

b_u585i_iot02a_ns

For building Non-Secure firmware

Here are the instructions to build Zephyr with a non-secure configuration, using tfm_ipc_ sample:

$ west build -b b_u585i_iot02a_ns samples/tfm_integration/tfm_ipc/

Once done, before flashing, you need to first run a generated script that will set platform option bytes config and erase platform (among others, option bit TZEN will be set).

$ ./build/tfm/regression.sh
$ west flash

Please note that, after having run a TFM sample on the board, you will need to run ./build/tfm/regression.sh once more to clean up the board from secure options and get back the platform back to a “normal” state and be able to run usual, non-TFM, binaries. Also note that, even then, TZEN will remain set, and you will need to use STM32CubeProgrammer to disable it fully, if required.

Connections and IOs

B_U585I_IOT02A Discovery kit has 9 GPIO controllers (from A to I). These controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For mode details please refer to B U585I IOT02A board User Manual.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:

  • UART_1 TX/RX : PA9/PA10 (ST-Link Virtual Port Com)

  • LD1 : PH7

  • LD2 : PH6

  • user button : PC13

  • SPI1 NSS/SCK/MISO/MOSI : PE12/P13/P14/P15 (Arduino SPI)

  • I2C_1 SDA/SDL : PB9/PB8 (Arduino I2C)

  • I2C_2 SDA/SDL : PH5/PH4

  • DAC1 CH1 : PA4 (STMOD+1)

  • ADC1_IN15 : PB0

  • USB OTG : PA11/PA12

  • PWM4 : CN14 PB6

  • PWM3 : CN4 PE4

System Clock

B_U585I_IOT02A Discovery System Clock could be driven by an internal or external oscillator, as well as the main PLL clock. By default the System clock is driven by the PLL clock at 80MHz, driven by 16MHz high speed internal oscillator.

Serial Port

B_U585I_IOT02A Discovery kit has 4 U(S)ARTs. The Zephyr console output is assigned to UART1. Default settings are 115200 8N1.

Backup SRAM

In order to test backup SRAM you may want to disconnect VBAT from VDD. You can do it by removing SB6 jumper on the back side of the board.

Programming and Debugging

B_U585I_IOT02A Discovery kit includes an ST-LINK/V3 embedded debug tool interface. This probe allows to flash the board using various tools.

Flashing

Board is configured to be flashed using west STM32CubeProgrammer runner. Installation of STM32CubeProgrammer is then required to flash the board.

Alternatively, openocd (provided in Zephyr SDK), JLink and pyocd can also be used to flash and debug the board if west is told to use it as runner, using -r openocd.

Connect the B_U585I_IOT02A Discovery kit to your host computer using the USB port, then run a serial host program to connect with your Discovery board. For example:

$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0

Then, build and flash in the usual way. Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b b_u585i_iot02a samples/hello_world
west flash

You should see the following message on the console:

Hello World! arm

Debugging

Default flasher for this board is openocd. It could be used in the usual way. Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b b_u585i_iot02a samples/basic/blinky
west debug

Building a secure/non-secure with Arm® TrustZone®

The TF-M applications can be run on this board, thanks to its Arm® TrustZone® support. In TF-M configuration, Zephyr is run on the non-secure domain. A non-secure image can be generated using b_u585i_iot02a_ns as build target.

$ west build -b b_u585i_iot02a_ns path/to/source/directory

Note: When building the *_ns image with TF-M, build/tfm/postbuild.sh bash script is run automatically in a post-build step to make some required flash layout changes.

Once the build is completed, run the following script to initialize the option bytes.

$ build/tfm/regression.sh

Finally, to flash the board, run:

$ west flash

Disabling TrustZone® on the board

If you have flashed a sample to the board that enables TrustZone, you will need to disable it before you can flash and run a new non-TrustZone sample on the board.

To disable TrustZone, it’s necessary to change AT THE SAME TIME the TZEN and RDP bits. TZEN needs to get set from 1 to 0 and RDP, needs to be set from DC to AA (step 3 below).

This is docummented in the AN5347, in section 9, “TrustZone deactivation”.

However, it’s possible that the RDP bit is not yet set to DC, so you first need to set it to DC (step 2).

Finally you need to set the “Write Protection 1 & 2” bytes properly, otherwise some memory regions won’t be erasable and mass erase will fail (step 4).

The following command sequence will fully deactivate TZ:

Step 1:

Ensure U23 BOOT0 switch is set to 1 (switch is on the left, assuming you read “BOOT0” silkscreen label from left to right). You need to press “Reset” (B2 RST switch) after changing the switch to make the change effective.

Step 2:

$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob rdp=0xDC

Step 3:

$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -tzenreg

Step 4:

$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp1a_pstrt=0x7f
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp1a_pend=0x0
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp1b_pstrt=0x7f
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp1b_pend=0x0
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp2a_pstrt=0x7f
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp2a_pend=0x0
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp2b_pstrt=0x7f
$ STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=/dev/ttyACM0 -ob wrp2b_pend=0x0
